I'm very much new to tweaking recipes, but have come up with the attached pretty simple hazy style IPA (I think!!).
Any comments or feedback? I've reduced the IBU a little as I don't like too much bitterness, and have scaled back the malt slightly to keep it around the 6% mark.
I currently have 100g each of mosaic, Amarillo, citra and cascade - so could increase some of the quantities or buy more/something else in time for dry hop.
Yeast is likely to be mangrove Jack's M12 kveik.
Comments and feedback welcome - I'm planning on brewing tomorrow. 👍

You will get some IBU's from the whirlpool @80c but you will need to remove them if not cooling or it may give too much bitterness.
I am guessing you are going to cool after the whirlpool.
The hop mix looks good to me

Yes, I've got a plate chiller and currently freezing a load of blocks to prechill the input to that using a spare coil chiller I made.
 
Why do you want to use Voss kveik in an IPA? There are plenty of other high-temperature yeasts that won't make things so orangy. Lutra, for eg, or even W-34/70 will ferment OK onto the mid 20s.
 
I use the Kveik all the time Neil and it depends at what temp you ferment high can give orange but it will not overpower the hops in a IPA it will add to a fruity hop style like your recipe. If you do not want orange esters ferment lower it will also be done in days.
I am at this moment fermenting a Punk Clone which was pitched last night with Kveik it will not suppress the hops and and orange will be subtle with those hops
